Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 30/48] mce: convert to rcu_dereference_index_check()

The mce processing applies rcu_dereference_check() to integers used as
array indices.  This patch therefore moves mce to the new RCU API
rcu_dereference_index_check() that avoids the sparse processing that
would otherwise result in compiler errors.
